The House of Representatives Committee on the Community Action for Resilience and Economic Stimulus NG-CARES, has began an investigation into the implementation of the ₦1.06trillion Nigeria social intervention programme of the Federal Government.
The Chairman of the committee, Abubakar Kusada, disclosed this at a briefing in Abuja after the committee meeting on Wednesday said the investigation became inevitable since the masses were not feeling the impact of the palliatives and safety nets despite the government fulfilling its funding obligations and providing the guidelines, and the operational arrangements for the effective implementation of NG-CARES.
He disclosed that the House Committee on NG-CARES, in exercise of its powers under sections 88 and 89 of the Constitution, had resolved to commence immediate and full investigation of the NG-CARES programme to unravel the disconnect and ascertain the propriety of expenditure of the huge sums provided by the government for the administration of social welfare.
